Low light camera issues ??

Ok so I know this phone has a nice camera but has anyone had issues with taking shots say at night outside?? Me and the wife were at the park and behind us the city skyline...we wanted some shots and every picture came out extremely blurry...do yall have certain settings for which there is limited light outside???

From what I've seen is that the subject matter at night will need some light on it for the focus to take hold.
With the fixed f2.2 at 28mm the camera has a wide view so if the target isn't lit well it may work best to get close for handheld shots.
I find things like park benches, walls with a straight edge, the "Y" of a tree or any stable surface works to help steady the camera in low light.
Also play with the exposure value slider in Lumia camera this can overexpose for a desired effect.

Things like city skylines over water always look striking at night because of the amount of light.
If you look at most night shots that are handheld the best ones are sufficiently lit.

A pocket tripod is still most handy for the artful photog using a phone camera in my opinion...
Good luck there!

If you want quick snap handheld at night try to use the built in Microsoft Camera and select Night Scene mode. I think it gives better result than LC5 left in auto. LC5 tends to choose higher ISO number if left in auto for night shot. **But LC5 should give better results if you care to set those dials manually.

Not exactly the most intuitive way of discovering the phone has a 2nd camera app lol. Wonder if there's other default options for other applications, and how many just use the Lumia Cam app not knowing any better.

just recently I downloaded LC4 and compared it against LC5 with my Lumia640 in lowlight conditions. It surprised me that LC4 actually performs better than LC5 in ISOs ranging from 200 to 800.

If LC5 is going to be retained as Windows Camera & LC4 is going to be discontinued then I will be very sad. I am not really impressed with LC5. The only thing I like about it is its quick start which is extremely useful.

If you guys havent download LC4, well give it a try and make comparisons. I would love to hear your thoughts.
